I would like to be able to start the Wine .chm file-viewer, C:\windows\hh.exe, from the command-line like this: wine hh.exe /some/dir/somefile.chm It works if the current directory contains the .chm file, but not if I have to specify a path. Am I missing something?

Hi, Chm (compiled help) is a microsoft invention. It's the default help system under windows, but not so under linux. I found that (at times) I like better how chm help looks. Since there are chm viewers under linux, using chm help files should be possible. Has anybody tried to set R so it opens chm by default? I'm sure there's some flag or Rprofile var that could get this done.

Dear all, I just tried to be fast for once, installed R 2.10 and also newly installed all previously-installed packages. However, now all my help files are text only, which is of course a pity with the new possibilities of links between help pages. What can I do to re-activate chm-help? chm-help does not work for anything, not even base functionality. My system is Windows XP, German locale

Hi, I would need some help in solving a problem with my R. Whenever I try to type " ?paste " or in general any command for the html help in R, I receive this error message. The strange thing is that I have never had this kind of problem in the past with R, and now I really don't understand why it says that. Also I have selected every single element in the installation process. The

I just built a package in R (version 2.1.1 on a Linux machine) and then moved it to my computer (R version 2.8.1 on a Windows machine). When I loaded the package and tried to open help for one of the commands, I got the following warning: Warning message: In print.help_files_with_topic("F:/R/R-2.8.1/library/REEMtree/chm/RMSE") : No CHM help for 'RMSE' in package

First: Contrary to claims chm viewing is NOT fixed.It's better but graphics and the index are still broken. I washed my hands on bug reporting of the problems, as I now use firefox with the chm addon which works even better than the last kchmviewer I tried. Great News: I installed the latest PBWin9.0 and the first example I tried worked flawlessly. This surprised me as this was a COM example

Future Pinball (a free pinball simulation) have some chm help files. I can't see it with 'wine hh.exe file.chm' command (chm are okay with a native viewer, like gnochm) Is there a way to make it works ?

Hi, I have been trying to configure Wine to associate kchmviewer with chm files in hopes of having kchmviewer launch whenever I push a help button within SkyTools 3 (http://www.skyhound.com). I am running Wine 1.3.18 under Ubuntu 10.10 on an amd64 machine. I followed the instructions in the Wine FAQ at http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-91bf3f0a8ccbfab8dee96f82fae2f1a489e0d243 and have tried

Please excuse my first couple of probably quite a few newb questions. Are there still probs with viewing chm files? If I browse to the chm file and just launch it seems fine until I try search for a subject. I search, find what I'm looking for, click it and the help file closes. If I use wine hh / winepath windows path it launches but if I click search I can't try the search, it's

Hello, I've spent a while reading about configuring WINE for use with hhc.exe to create .chm files. These instructions almost work: http://code.google.com/p/htmlhelp/wiki/HHW4Wine But, when comparing the Windows-generated .chm to the Linux-generated .chm, the Linux-generated one does not have sorted or consolidated index entries. It seems that whatever part of the process is responsible for

I'm a Windows (non C++) software developer and I'm wanting my software to run under Wine as best as possible. My app uses CHM help files which are displayed in Windows when pressing F1 or clicking Help on the menu, but it does not work under Wine on Linux. It does absolutely nothing. Is see there are CHM viewers available but Wine does not seem to use them. Any suggestions? Thanks,

Dear R Users, I've installed R with the chm option, but eventually I found I am more used to the normal way of latex help. Is there any argument to suppress chm help by default when starting R? So that I don't have to type something like >help(rle,chmhelp=NULL) I know the last resort would be to reinstall R. Thanks in advance! - J
